The game at Arsenal when it was below freezing: Yaya asking the Boss before the game if they could go out a few times to warm up and get used to the cold was interesting. Here was somebody who was not likely to play but was thinking about the team.
I still admire and place as an all-time City great and one of the most important players in our history, the Yaya on the pitch.
I don’t care what he said or did off it or after he left or what he says in the future. I’ve worked with dick heads who were brilliant at their job, we all probably have.
Jamie Carragher made a good point on Monday Night Football this week, when he said; “I didn’t care about upsetting my teammates because that’s all they are, teammates, not life mates. I speak to very few of any of my old teammates still now. If you get lifemates from some of them great, but even if that’s what they become, they’re still just part of the team anyway first and foremost.”
We do well at City, and well done to Mancini, Pellegrini, Pep, and Txiki, in buying good lads who don’t really cause trouble or act the dick head. So to have less than a handful this decade who can be called a bit of a dick takes some going. And if Yaya has said or done dickish things then I won’t hold him up as a great man, but by fuck he was a great player!
I will always admire and love his big moments for this club, and there were loads!
